No, you don't use a pit file.

Cyanogenmod to Stock

Guys
I installed CM 7 successfully on my SGS using instructions here
http://www.galaxyroot.com/rom-cyanogenmod-7-for-galaxy-s-non-official/
It installed perfectly but i m not having signal. So i flashed back original JPY using ODin but phone is stuck on galaxy logo. Please advice on how to revert to original ROM?
Thanks

As per Odin tutorial i select Pit and repartition only when i have 3 files. Can you please advice where can i get 3 files as i have one file only from samfirmware?
My I9000 is international and factory unlocked....
right well were gunna need a 3 file firmware in order to use PIT. bear with me whilst i have a look for one.
probably samfirmare.com ?
yeah just been looking on there they all seem to be 1 file
Yes samfirmware.com has 1 files only.
Are you sure if i flash with 3 files and select repartition then it will solve my problem?
install another firmware like jpjpa with 3 files and then flash xxjpy on it
Will this work?

I tried factory reset and now the Samsung Galaxy S original startup keeps coming up again and again.... i can still go into recovery mode any help pleaseeeeee
Ok your only chance is to flash stock through odin! Go to this website and download your firmware http://www.sammobile.com/threads/17-Samsung-I9000-Galaxy-S-Firmwares.. Your then going to extract it to your desktop( I find it easier using desktop). Next download odin http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MADK0XTB, then follow this guide http://www.androidgalaxy.net/how-to-flash-a-galaxy-s-phone-back-to-stock/
Once you have that all downloaded open odin, add your PIT file tick re-partition, add your PDA,PHONE and CSC and THEN put your phone in DL mode and connect it... Don't be afraid of the thanks button

Flashing zImage file using Mobile Odin? or other Kernel Flashing tool

I have recently been trying the Franco Kernel and the CF Kernel on ICS. I have had a Wifi issues with both of these, and I wanted to flash back my LQ2 stock kernel (zImage). I found this very difficult to do. I eventually used ChainFire's script, and replaced his kernel with the stock one, and flashed it from the PC.
My question is: I could have sworn that I have previously used mobile odin to flash a zImage, but now when I try it doesn't see any of the zip files, or zImages files on my card? is this correct, or should it be able to flash zImage files?
If I can't use Mobile Odin, is there an alternative for flashing zImage files that I can download from Google Play?

Flash the LQ2 .tar file instead of the zImage with Mobile Odin. So extract the downloaded .rar file once and it becomes a .tar file and put it on your sd card. mobile Odin doesn`t flash zImage, cwm manager does flash it.
If I do that won't it overwrite the whole rom. I only want the kernel. I would have to reinstall all my apps and settings. It takes me hours to get everything back the way it was.

It will flash only the kernel, also choose wipe cache when flashing. You will loose nothing.
If you want to flash stock kernel only then you can use PC Odin too.(you shud have kernel in .tar), you need to place kernel .tar file for selecting PDA in Odin.
Mobile odin can flash zImage file.
none of above said erase data.

Can we flash a rooted kernel in PC Odin in a non rooted device? Is there a rooted kernel in tar format?
it will raise flash counter. look to speedmod kernel for ics, having tar. counter you can reset with triangleaway
i hav never used any time, read properly before flashing.

Yes you can, i would take CF Root wich has root, busybox and cwm recovery. But it will increase the flash counter and shows a yellow triangle. With this method however no flash counter/triangle http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360.

So, that's the catch-the triangle. I would supposed Dr. Ketan's procedure is also applicable to rooting GB?

Dr Ketan, I have a couple of questions about what you have said which I would be really grateful if you would clarify:
In the stock rom, when I drill into the .tar file I have a number of files e.g. cache.img, factoryfs.img, hidden.img, modem.bin, and the zImage. Both Odin and Mobile Odin can only see the .tar file (which contains everything). If I extract the zImage, Odin and Mobile Odin cannot see it as an individual file, it has to be bundled up with the others in the .tar file.
If I use Odin to flash that file, it is the whole Rom, so won't it wipe my phone like a factory re-set?
When I try to use mobile Odin, you say I can flash a zImage file, but even though I have one on the SD card, it cannot see them. Mobile Odin just shows me all folders, and I cannot select an individual zImage file, or any zip files? I guess it can only see whole .tar files and not individual files?
Can you please advise me?
ok
now pc odin
here you can flash with tar only.
pc odin gives you option to flash separate modem and csc but not kernel if you select full Rom file.
but if you have kerenl file in tar file then you can flash it using pda in odin to flash kernel separately.
now in mobile odin.
you can flash kernel modem or csc individually with raw file or tar or zip.
dont know why you are getting error, otherwise it gives you option to glash zimage too.
just to add, in mobile odin you have not to select open file option but you hav to select kernel tab
then point it to zimage file.

Thank you my friend. your advice has really helped me. My issue in Mobile Odin was caused because I had renamed the zImage file to StockzImage (because I had some custom ones there with different names in the same directory. Mobile Odin was specifically looking for a file with the name zImage

Did you reflash your ROM with a pit file as well, because aokp uses a different file partition set up so pit is necessary when going back to stock

Whenever you flash with pit always tick repartition, if you open up the file you flashed you should be able to see if there is a pit in there, if not go to samfirmware.com and you will find pit files over there

If you use pit and tick repartition using this ROM it will not work. For repartition you need dbdata inside the compressed ROM.
You can pick any ROM that have the dbdata and merge with your stock ROM to do a repartition and get your phone up and running again!!
Good luck

Sorry for being such a noob but i have downloaded both files and connected phone with laptop and odin where do i load the file that i have downloaded?
if it is one single file then it will go into the PDA section. If it comes in 3 files it will go in the respective section, i.e PDA, Phone, CSC.
do not select pit or repartition

It's a ZIP file and PDA requires a .tar file?
open it up There will be a .tar file inside it, Extract it and then load it into odin
